Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a new electric vehicle dedicated to self-driving, a possible milestone after years of false promises and blown deadlines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The robotaxi is a purpose-built autonomous vehicle, lacking a steering wheel or pedals, meaning it will need approval from regulators before going into production. The design was futuristic, with doors that open upward like butterfly wings and a small cabin with only enough space for two passengers. There was no steering wheel or pedals, nor was there a plug \u2014 Musk said the vehicle charges inductively to regain power wirelessly.<\/p>\n

\n

Musk said that autonomous cars are expected to be 10\u201320 times safer than human-driven vehicles and could cost as little as 20 cents per mile, compared to the $1 per mile for city buses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tesla plans to launch fully autonomous driving in Texas and California next year, with the Cybercab entering production by 2026 \u2014 although he said it could be as late as 2027. Additionally, Tesla is developing the Optimus robot, which could be available for $20,000\u2013$30,000 and is capable of performing various tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is a very big deal,\u201d Musk said. \u201cIt\u2019ll save lives, a lot of lives, and prevent injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Musk revealed the prototype robotaxi\u00a0at Tesla\u2019s \u201cWe, Robot\u201d event<\/a>\u00a0held at the Warner Bros. film lot in Burbank, California, with a lot of nonpublic roads for the demonstration. Tesla has reportedly been mapping the area in advance of the demonstration, even though the\u00a0company says<\/a>\u00a0it doesn\u2019t rely on high-definition maps to power its Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver-assist feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Musk is attempting to steer Tesla away from its core business of making and selling EVs toward one that produces robots and AI. Tesla\u2019s market cap is equal to almost all the other global automaker\u2019s values combined. Much of the company\u2019s stock price is based on Musk\u2019s yearslong promise to solve autonomy by releasing a truly revolutionary vehicle that can drive itself anywhere it wants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whether Tesla\u2019s robotaxi will accomplish that steep task is anyone\u2019s guess. Musk has a reputation for defying the odds, but AV experts have routinely questioned Tesla\u2019s approach to the technology, especially with regard to the company\u2019s aggressive push for Level 2 advanced driver-assist systems like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Those features, which are not autonomous and require a driver to stay vigilant at all times, can be impressive but have also been known to make critical errors. Earlier this year, a 28-year-old motorcyclist was\u00a0killed by a Tesla driver allegedly using FSD<\/a>. Tesla has been\u00a0forced to recall<\/a>\u00a0both of its\u00a0driver-assist systems<\/a>\u00a0in the face of increased government scrutiny<\/a>\u00a0over the company\u2019s autonomy claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Musk has a track record of coming from behind to pull off impossible victories. The\u00a0Model 3 production<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the early success of the Cybertruck<\/a>\u00a0are two recent examples of Musk defying expectations.<\/p>\n

\n

During the event, Musk pitched the idea of autonomous cars primarily as time-savers. \u201cThink about the cumulative time that people spend in a car,\u201d he said, \u201cand the time they will get back that they can now spend on their books or watching a movie or doing work or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still, Tesla is lagging behind companies like\u00a0Waymo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Cruise<\/a>, both of which have racked up millions of miles of on-road testing with their driverless vehicles. To be sure, robotaxis have had a bumpy rollout, with\u00a0numerous incidents<\/a>\u00a0of blocked vehicles, traffic jams, and\u00a0even a handful of injuries<\/a>. Federal safety regulators are\u00a0probing several major players<\/a>\u00a0to discern whether the technology powering these vehicles is safe or should be recalled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The families of Tesla drivers who have been killed in crashes involving Autopilot have\u00a0sued the company for wrongful death<\/a>. And Musk\u2019s tenure as head of X, formerly Twitter, has\u00a0alienated many of Tesla\u2019s progressive-leaning customers<\/a>, who have watched in horror as he\u00a0promotes right-wing conspiracy theories on the platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n
